GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Sir Charles Dixie Points Out EnEland's
Weakness as n Military Power.
LONDON, May 28.-Sir Charles Dilkes conclud-
ing article on European politics, which appeared
in the new Fortnightly Review, to-day, has cre-
ated veritable sensation. The aarmist state-
ments contained therein are not new. but con-
frmed, as they are, by the highest continental
scientific and military authorities, they will
doubtless make many converts to the views he
expresses. The chief points of the article are
embodied in the corroborated assertions of Mr..
Dixie that the ports of England could easily be
invaded by such a fleet any irst-cass
foreign power could send against them, and that,
with the present means of defense, Great Brit
ain would be utterly powerless to prevent France
or Germany from landing an overpowering force
in the very heart of London. Moreover. he
says, upon the same authority. the British Med
iterranean fleet would be unable to hold the
Mediterranean against France without the as
sistauce of Italy He advises the government to
make no attempt at retrenchment. but rather to
hasten the Inauguration of extensive reforms in
the military and naval systems, and to very
largely increase the armaments at the various
British fortresses and coaing stations.

EARTHQUAKE in MEXICO.
The Capital City and the Surrounding Dis
trict Violently Shaken on Sunday Morning.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 29-At ten minutes to
3 this morning there felt here a violent shock
Of earthquake, sort of lifting motion, which
lasted five seconds. Next there came, prefsced
By low roar and accompanied by a stiff breeze,
violent oscillation Of the earth from east to
west, which awoke nearly every one, lasting, as
it did, thirty-nine seconds. Houses swayed as
if they were ships at sea, and persons arising
from their beds were, in many cases, thrown
with force to the floor. Bells were rung in the
hotels, and everywhere doors were forced open.
Then came still another oscillation of
much violence, proceeding from north to
south. During this shock crockery
thrown down and pictures demolished
in several houses. Thousands of persons dressed,
and did GO to bed again. Reports received
today by Governor Cebales, of the federal dis
trict, do not show any fatalities the result of
the earthquake, and the denizens of suburban
towns report about the same sensations
felt by the Inhabitants OF the metropolis. At
the School of Mines, Secretary Ucalde reports
that the seismatic instruments showed that
heavy shock had taken place. These instruments
sef-registering, and prove that the shock of
this morning was a severe one. At the oIfice of
Governor Ceballes it is reported that the shock
was much more severe than that of 1882 The
government Is taking measures to ascertain just
how widespread the earthquake was.

The weather seriously interfered with the at
